/*
An evaluator object is used to replace an input string that represents
a mathematical expression by its result.
Example: Consider the input "3+4". The result of this expression is "7".
The NumericEvaluator can be used like this:
NumericEvaluator eval;
eval.process("3+4");
printf("3+4", eval.result());
The same example with error checking. Please note that even a valid input string may result
in an empty output string or "NaN".
NumericEvaluator eval;
bool ret = eval.process("3+4");
assert(ret == eval.isValid()); // isValid() reflects return value of process().
if (eval.isValid()) printf("3+4=%s\n", eval.result());
Using variables
Expressions can refer to variables if they were defined by previous expressions.
A variable can be defined by an expression or by the setVar() method.
Expressions that define/set variables do not have a result.
eval.process("x=1; y=2"); // Result is NaN
eval.setVar("z", 3);
eval.process("x+y+z");
printf("x+y+z=%s\n", eval.result());
Input string storage
An evaluator object can store and retrieve the original input string using a pointer
as key. This can be used to restore the input string of a text entry field.
eval.process("25.4-0.7", &eval);
printf("%s = %s\n", eval.textInput(&eval), eval.result());
Unit conversion
The evaluator uses a default unit and constants can be specified with a unit.
As long as no units are used the default unit is not relevant.
Supported units are millimeters (mm), Mil (mil) and inch (")
eval.process("1\"");
printf("1\" = %s\n", eval.result());
eval.process("12.7 - 0.1\" - 50mil");
printf("12.7 - 0.1\" - 50mil = %s\n", eval.result());
